Having done part loan for a while I'm looking for a full loan now. I currently have 2 options and am going to give myself an ulcer going round and round.
Horse 1: gelding 17yo does not act it. Relishes being in work and loves to jump. Must stay on current yard. Yard is close but very run down although the horses are well cared for.
Flat weekly fee and horse wouldn't really be 'mine' so when on holiday /ill etc the horse would be looked after as part of the yard routine. Feels like a part loan but more days.
Horse 2: gelding 18yo. Acts more like it. Prefectly capable of work but not as much as horse 1. Horse can move to my preferred yard which is further away. Horse would be 'mine' and I would have full responsibility and costs will most likely be double horse 1.
I can afford it but will be tighter.
Thoughts please? I think I've lost all perspective.

You do want a horse that you can do everything you want with and number 1 isn't it because the owner will interfere, and number 2 isn't it because it is too 'steady' (unless steady is what you are looking for?)
